If this is a special cake, I assume it will be iced. If so, safer to do two in traybake tins (4 egg quantity in each). As Watermeadow says, difficult to get such a quantity to bake evenly in a roasting tin. I’ve done several special cakes like this over the years and they’ve been well received!

I wouldn’t do this. The edges will be cooked well before the middle.

I think I would double to usual mixture I use (Mary Berry traybakes) and bake it in my big roasting tin. Happy cake making.cupcake

Good morning all.

I have been asked to bake a sponge cake in a tin 42cm x 28cm x 5cm and wonder if any of you have ever done this? I'm told that two smaller cakes will not do!

I have looked at conversion charts but it's still confusing me. I'm thinking of an 8 egg mix but thought I'd ask here in case there is someone who does make this size.

Thank you.
